Agree 100% with using AllTrails! Just wanted to add that Patapsco has more than 200 miles of trails, many of which are connected with one another, so you can make a long hike out if it very easily.

Wow I actually had no idea Patapsco Valley has that many trails! Growing up, my family would do the same trail pretty much every time, the one that leads down to the train tracks and river under route 40. Pro tip: even if you don’t hear any trains coming, you are taking a chance by walking through that tunnel. Saw my life flash before my eyes one time getting caught in the tunnel while a train came through. Luckily there was enough clearance but terrifying…

Plus the fines. If you're caught on the tracks they will fine the shit out of you and maybe lock you up depending on how mouthy you feel about the fine lol. I was putzing in the river and watched a few teenagers with an older guy get got up on the bridge before the tunnel. The older guy wasn't happy and left in the back of a cruiser.
